Grant recommendation rationale for grantee application G-08220 by University College Dublin Foundation [UCD]

View on DRI

Context

University College Dublin Foundation received funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies for a project called National Discourse, which became known as We the Citizens, a democratic participatory project to ignite citizen involvement in democracy in Ireland. The academic team involved in the independent project includes academics from University College Dublin, Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, and University College Cork. Involving a national and international scientific advisory bord, We the Citizens tested whether a more participatory form of democracy could work in Ireland at a time when people felt adrift and disconnected from power. In late 2012 the Irish government established the Convention on the Constitution, which followed many of the procedures spearheaded by We the Citizens.

In 2000, University College Dublin Foundation was given €1,248,000 for a project titled Mícheál Ó Cléirigh Institute for the Study of Irish History and Civilisation. With this funding, the foundation was to carry out comprehensive research into a collection of medieval and early modern Irish manuscripts which have been entrusted to the University.
